Emily was one of the few members of Temeraire's crew who returned after Laurence - technically still under a death sentence - and Temeraire rejoined the [[Aerial Corps]] during Napoleon's occupation of Britain. She did not have to worry that it would hurt her career, as her future with Excidium was already assured. | Emily was one of the few members of Temeraire's crew who returned after Laurence - technically still under a death sentence - and Temeraire rejoined the [[Aerial Corps]] during Napoleon's occupation of Britain.
